AC Milan are ready to welcome their newest addition very soon: Luka Romero. Born in Mexico, an Agentine citizen and raised in Spain, the 18-year-old right-winger, who can play as a playmaker, is ready to showcase his abilities.
As relayed by Milannews.it, the forme Lazio player will face a curse that he should overcome. In fact, as history tells us, Milan have a special story with the Brazilian players. Four Ballon d'Or winners played with AC Milan: Kakà, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho.
As for Argentinians at Milan, they had less luck. A kind of spell that seems to resist great talents and has not spared players of the caliber of Gonzalo Higuaín, who had a short stint at Milan in 2018 with disappointing results: only 8 goals in 22 appearances. The list continues with names like Biglia, Ocampos, Musacchio, and Grimi.
There have also been cases of regret, such as Fernando Redondo, who got injured in his first training session at Milanello. However, two exceptions have brought the Argentine light to Milan: Hernán Crespo, who scored a brace in the unfortunate and incredible final in Istanbul against Liverpool in 2005, and Guglielminpietro, with his assists and the decisive goal in the '99 Serie A title won in Perugia.
Argentinians seem to be a rarity in the Rossoneri world, despite the extraordinary start under the era of Silvio Berlusconi with the acquisition of Claudio Borghi, a talented Argentine attacking midfielder. Despite the praise received from Platini and the enthusiasm of the president, Borghi never played an official match for Milan. Nevertheless, he won the award for best player in the Mundialito '87 and scored spectacular goals in friendly matches against Manchester United and Real Madrid. Now, almost 40 years later, another Argentine moves in the same area of the field: Luka Romero. Will he be the one to convince everyone and finally break the Argentine curse at the Devil? Only time will tell.
